I used to listen to the radio during my younger years, way back when songs like Elton John's Can You Feel the Love Tonight? were the hit stuff. As soon as the likes of Justin Bieber emerged, I grew out of the old habit.

It's been so long since Radyo Singko 92.3 NewsFM launched. I was skeptical about the idea of having an AM-pegged FM station, but it worked, especially for a person like me who would rather listen to current events than murdered music.

I decided to write this while the story is still fresh, so here I go.

While I was on my way home, I thought of tuning my phone radio to Radyo Singko. Nite Chat was the current program when I turned it on. The host, Benjie Felipe a.k.a. "Tsongkibenj", shared a quote:

The breaking point of an egg shell in an incubator is the end of prison for a newly hatched duckling.

He then told an inspirational story of an unnamed kid who went from trials to triumphs and became a beacon of hope for the others himself. I was and inspired by the story, that I texted their hotline to voice out my respect for the unnamed guy—and my disgust at the epal-iticians who refuse to follow his example.

He also shared a trivia where the answer for his contest lies: the band Rocksteddy formed in 2003.

I wasn't really expecting that my message would get read live on air, but IT GOT READ! And I laughed in awe as Tsongkibenj seemed to think that I was angry in that text.

Then my listening to the program was interrupted by received a phone call—It was from Radyo Singko.
